《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》#6: 'The Runestone Guardians book 1: secrets of Sølvefalske' by wolfeea12
Advertisement
This story is written by wolfeea12, and it's great. I love it. Expect me to be really positive about it.
This is a fantasy story inspired by Norse mythology (I'm a big mythology fan so that makes it even better). The main character is Ylvana. She is the Wolf Princess, chosen by Skoll to end the war between the two kingdoms in the 10th realm, Sølvefalske and the Sutherlands. She is helped by, for example, Miria, crown princess if Sølvefalske and Jay, the son of king Argo Fenrir from the Sutherlands.
You know what? This story's complex. Just go and read that incredibly long description.
The characters are likeable and well written in my opinion, and the grammar/vocabulary is great too. There were some mistakes (like getting their, they're and there mixed up), but these mistakes become less frequent the further we come in the story.
Same goes for switching between tenses: the story is written in present tense, but sometimes our dear author accidentally slips up and starts writing past tense. But, this also happens less when the story progresses. (
^ you know when there are book reviewers who are like "yeah lol I'll read two chapters of your book and write a 50 word review and expect you to vote for all my books and follow me in exchange!"?
I exaggerated, but you get my point.
I'm trying to say, if you're a person who might want to make their own review book someday: please read the entire book. Writing improves. Writing styles change. The mistakes made in chapter four will probably not be made in chapter 14 because We learn from our mistakes.
^Just some advice to everyone.
The only possibly turn off for this book are fantasy clichés: kingdoms at war, the Chosen One, shapeshifters.... all been done before. I do think that the mythology gives something unique to the story, so that helps. Just remember that general, 'overused' story lots need that little extra. (You succeeded in giving your story that, in my opinion)
Now, where is my sequel?

Sod's Law (Dropped)
This fiction has been dropped, you're more than welcome to read it anyway (there is sort of an ending). But you have been warned... Sod's law is a more extreme version of Murphy's law. While Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong (eventually), Sod's law requires that it always goes wrong with the worst possible outcome. For example, concepts such as "bad fortune will be tailored to the individual" and "good fortune will occur in spite of the individual's actions" are sometimes given as examples of Sod's law in action. This would broaden Sod's law to a general sense of being "mocked by fate". In these aspects it is similar to some definitions of irony, particularly the irony of fate. - Definitions of Sod's Law on Wikipedia. The protagonist, as many before them, and many who followed, thought they were just entering a VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing-Game). Unbeknownst to them however, was a short paragraph in the Terms & Conditions, that, upon agreement, would actually transport them to a fantasy world, loosely based on the game they thought they were entering. - Something anyone could be forgiven for, no-one reads them after all. In this new world, they discover that people are born with “Traits”, a System recognised, ability, skill, or talent, that they are born with. Sod's Law was not a trait they, or anyone else for that matter, would want. Pure madness follows. Yup, this is about a character transferred to a fantasy game-world with the worst luck imaginable. This is my first fiction so I apologise for any grammar and spelling mistakes that may be made. Hopefully it is readable, and if so please tell me! But if it's not, also tell me, but in a constructive way if at all possible? Due to the nature of the “Trait” the story will be dark in places, with plenty of gore and profanity, hence the tags. There may also be scenes of a sexual nature, but nothing full on – sorry guys but you'll have to go elsewhere for that.
